Bug#564124: loop-aes-utils: Unbootable system on RAID/loop-aes system due missing preqqs "mdadm" in scripts/local-top/loop-aes

[Ben]

Package: loop-aes-utils
Version: 2.13.1-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch


I try to install Ubuntu 5.0.3 via expert installer on a RAID system.
Partition scheme (identical on all 3 discs):

  /boot, ext3 / RAID1 , plain
  /      ext3 / RAID5 , loop-aes (key) on md1
         swap         , loop-aes (tmp)
  /srv , ext3 / RAID5 , loop-aes (key) on m2

After successfull installation system fails to boot, as the init 
script loopaes is started in front of the mdadm script.
In my opinion this is wrong, as the RAID must have been started 
prior to loopaes.

HOT-FIX:
  1. Unpack the initrd image

  2. Modify the file and change in the section "prereqs()" 
           echo ""
      to
           echo "mdadm"

  3. Repack the initrd image

PERMANENT FIX

  Make this change in the file scripts/local-top/loop-aes
